Re: swapping to vortec looking for wiring diagrams
I believe that you are asking for the C100 connector pin out?

Do NOT follow that C100 diagram above !! It's from a 90+ ThirdGen and NOT compatible with your 83. ( Power distribution, Reverse lights, & wiper wires are wrong - just to name a few. )
Here is the C100 from an 82,.... your 83 should be the same; Compare your C100 to this diagram FIRST to be SURE !!

You're gonna' want to leave the C100 pretty much intact in your car and add the vortec harness as a 'stand alone" system by feeding it power and ground where needed. Might need to mess with the Alternator wire & you might need to tap into @ C100for the Tach wire since the Gen 1 distrib is not going to be used.
82-83 Wiper system is not compatible with any other year,.. so using any C100 harness other than a harness from the 82-83 Thirdgens will cause you some wiper motor nightmares !
